THE COAL CANINE.
The Ohio River Commissions Plan to
Reduce the Treasury Surplus,

Copyieh!, 1857. by le California associated Press
PIrrsBURG, December 26th.-The Ohio
River Commission will meet in Washing
ton on January 18th. Coal shippers here
are talking about plan to have Congress
spend some of the Treasury surplus in i'm
proving the Ohio river, so as to prevent a
repetition OF the present coal famine in
cities that depend upon river shipments
from Pittsburg for fuel.
Captain Joseph Waller, the Pittsburg
member of the Commission, said to-day !:
If we could have some of that surplus
used in constructing dams at intervals from
here to Louisville, it would be the best use
that was ever made Of any surplus. 1t
would be great thing for all the Southern
rivers. If dams had been constructed
there would have been nothing to hinder
us shipping coal down the river all sum-
mer. As it is, we have made no ship
ments for seven months, and the cities
along the river are almost without coal"

health resort for consumptiye patients and
persons afflicted with bronchial troubles.
The climate in winter is like that of Enga-
dine, without the cold weather. The
springs are curative of gout and rheuma-
tiSm.

fCopyight, 1857. by t.e California associated Press
WASHINGTON, December 26th-W. w.
Corcoran, the Washington millionaire phil
anthropist, is in very feeble health, and his
condition has excited much alarm among
his numerous friends. Mr.. Corcoran will
be 80 years old tomorrow. Yesterday he
attended services at st. Johns Episcopal
Church. The service was long, and fol-
lowed by communion. In attempting to
go forward to partake of the sacrament,
Corcoran's strength failed him, and he had
to be assisted from the church. To-day he
is much better, but it is feared that he has
not long to live.
Mr.. Corcoran has spent in the neghbor-
hood of 100000 for charitable and educa-
tional purposes. He is best known by his
donation of the Corcoran Art Gallery to
the city, and the erection of the Louise
Home, for aged ladies of gentle birth, on
Massachusetts avenue.

The real estate department still does a

seems to be determination to rush to the
central part of the State while choice land
is cheap. If the good work of Placer

would be heavy immigration to the

The Austrian Emperor's Christmas Gift
to Count AndrassY.

VIENNA, December 26th-Emperor Fran
els Joseph, in the letter which accompanied
his Christmas gift to Count Andrassy, saws
the present is given in recognition of the
hospitality extended to the Emperor by
Count Andrassy during the military
maneuvers. The gift is generally be-
lieved, however, to have political signifi-
canoe, the opinion being that the Emperor
wished to express his approval of Count
Andrassy's energetic policy 1t is stated
that when the Count returned from the
Berlin Congress the Emperor wished to
raise him to the rank of Prince, and asked
several of the Hungarian Ministers to try
to induce him to accept the honor. The
Count, however, refused the title, and also
declined to accept an order, so that the
Emperors only way to honor the Count
was to send him an autograph letter, which
is the highest Austrian distinction.

New YORK, December 26th-The Stock
Exchange will be reopened at 10 o'clock to-

an important influence on speculation, be-
cause it has assumed large proportions
since the adjournment
There were few brokers to-day at the
Windsor Hotel, and most of those ex-
pressed only languid interest in the sub
ject. They argued that the strike had been
expected by those most largely interested
in the company, and the stock market
would have given some indication if brok-
ers had feared serious trouble
